[Nidilap]

Do pushups to prepare for arena combat. ((I'm going we can train a little.))

[AUTOFAIL] You lean over and fall onto the wagon's floor to begin push ups, but the binds tie you from your goal. You decide to wait until you reach the arenas themselves to train.

Gah...

Rest up. Regain my health.

You doze off from your injury, and when you awake, you realize you are in the Fighting Pits!

TURN 1: The Initiation Fight

You all are herded into a group amongst other slaves sold into gladiatorial combat. A rugged Khitai walks in front of the mass, looks around, and smiles.
"Welcome to Kusan, the land of the honorable, the brave, the enduring. And let me assure you, if you live for even another month here, you shall gain these titles as well. But for now, you are meat in the most rugged gauntlet in the East. It is midday, and this evening, we shall host an initiation. You will be pitted against some other gladiators. Worry not, only fists shall be used. But expect only one to exit a pit out of two."

Do cardio!

[3] You begin to run and jump around until you tire yourself out. You decide to catch your breath before the battles begin, as the sun begins to set.

Prepare my mind for dodging and meditate

[4] Resting in a corner, you imagine rocks and fists flying at you. You nudge and hop away, and you allow yourself some insight on how to dodge. Sadly, thinking over something doesn't make you better at it, though your calm confidence feel safe.

Drums beat as the sun sets. A trumpet blares. All of you are thrown into seperate pits, which on the other side of each one, is an unarmed, unarmored Gladiator.

[Urist Arrhenius]

"Ha! You are not opponent for Drest! Drest once kill an armed man for interrupting his drink! Come now, bring out the real opponent."
